The Value of Cussing

You know those times when you stub a toe, or you've had a high anxiety day and just nothing seems to go right, or when you slice your finger with a kitchen knife, and the only way to express yourself is with at least one foul language word?  You need something that allows you to vent out and screaming out "fluffy pink tissue!" just doesn't get it done.  When that bowling ball lands on your foot, you have to let out an agonizing string of obscenities that would embarrass even the roughest of sailors.

This brings me to the best of those meaningful words, fuck.  It has so many great uses.  But think of it's origins.  Sure, dictionaries will tell you that it comes from German and Latin backgrounds, but you know someone somewhere uttered this word long before the 16th Century. 

Think about it.  If you had just constructed a building back in the 12th Century and then stepped back and noticed this...

You might have uttered something that sounded like "FUCK!"

Or let's go even further back, if you believe that human life was procreated starting with Adam and Eve, imagine what Eve thought when she first learned she was pregnant, then what she went through giving birth.  With no one to teach them about childbirth, they both must have been screaming "What the FUCK!!!!"

Even used as an adjective, as in, "you fucking ____," it adds greater emphasis.  Other forms, such as "I'm so fucked" or "you little mother fucker" express a sentiment that no other phrase captures quite as well.

So here's to @Destiny and her favorite word...

Just sayin...

I say Phooey at work because I slipped up once in front of my boss, but at home it's all about the F-bomb. Llast weekend, Neighbor A said Fuckity Fuck (or something) in front of Neighbor B's four-year-old, and followed it up with "oh shit, I'm sorry."

@TheRetroGamerNY, I *love* Team Fucky!  Can I join?

I still get a lot of venting out by yelling "blueberry pie" or "fudge ice-cream". Those are remnants left over from the days of playing competitive sports for school and being carded for swearing.

TEAM FUCKY! Everyone is welcome. You just have to love fuck and it's awesome derivative, fucky. 

Seriously any word that is so versatile is inherently awesome. I mean, "fuck you, you fucking fuck!" Is like the perfect sentence.

I once bought my friend a tee shirt that says that.

I like fuckstick, but I don't use it much.  to catch Mr. CL's attention, I say, "What the fuck, G?"  he thinks it's fucked up because his name doesn't start with G.

There's really nothing better than a well-timed, heartfelt exclamation of "fuck." There's just something about how the breath bursts out of your mouth suddenly cut off with the hard velar stop of the "K!" that's the verbal equivalent of a sharp punch. Very satisfying, soothing, and not violent.

      I do wonder how many men who are monitored through Covenant Eyes and similar software just get another phone.

      House Speaker Mike Johnson might know.  His son monitors him via Covenant Eyes.  Mikey says he's a Christian, so why would a good Christian need a porn monitor?

      Ok. ISB joyride time. Is the poem about:

      1. Finding out that her ex-husband has a new partner?

      2. Finding out that she's been dumped by her boyfriend for one of her friends?

      3. Finding out that Lauren has a new job?

      4. Finding out that one of her Plexus downline has managed to take most of her "customers" and is now Platinum?

      Pulling this over from the Josiah thread. I'm doubt JB checked on Josh after he and Anna married. Josh says he's been reformed? Praise Jesus! He hasn't reformed? Well shame on Anna for not being the perfect enough wife. JB's a horrible human and a controlling, domineering individual but I'm not convinced he continued to micromanage Josh after he moved out. 


      JB and Michelle were happy when Josh married Anna because now he was her problem. Once married, if Josh got in trouble it was due to his wife’s shortcomings, not due to his upbringing. Yeah, they were happy to foist blame to Anna. 

      I’m not sure JB would have thought Josh was viewing csam online. He may have thought Josh might look at adult porn, but figured that was Anna’s responsibility to monitor. JB probably figured Josh was out of the way at the car lot and out of the public eye and that’s why JB set him up in business there. No need to really monitor him much as it was low key, nothing too exciting for the media to latch on to. Until….

      Another Pelaiah sighting in the reel their aunt posted. I'm not usually that interested in the Bowers family, but this whole thing has me intrigued...
